I saw that Matz just merged his M17N implementation in the trunk.

No, Ruby 1.9 requires bison, yacc is not enough.

I am pretty sure Ruby 1.9 DOES require a working Ruby (though Ruby 1.8
does not).

Even though they are needed to compile the SVN version, bison or a
working Ruby will probably not be necessary to build the release
version.

For the fact that configure does not complain it may be for this
reason, but I am not sure. It could indeed complain if the bison or
ruby generated files are not there.
